ELECTRICAL

Hancock’s Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Electrical was born out of an amalgamation of Hancock’s Refrigeration and John Rau Electrical in 2013. Both the businesses had been servicing Whyalla for over 40 years. This marriage of the two brought their combined skill and expertise together.

Switch Board Upgrades

Your meter box, also known as a switch board, may need to be upgraded if it has become damaged or rusted or if you need to change the location due to a property renovation. Hancock’s Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Electrical offer meter box and switch board upgrades. We also undertake any wiring changes that may be needed for the upgrade. It is recommended to have your old-style switch board replaced with the new one which uses a circuit breaker in place of a fuse. This trip circuit turns off on overloading of the circuit, thereby guaranteeing a safer home or office environment.

Safety Switches

South Australian government mandates all residential properties to have atleast one safety switch installed in the main electricity switchboard. Also referred to as a Residual current Device (RCD) by electricians, a safety switch identifies the loss of electrical current to earth and breaks the electrical supply to the power points in less than 0.3 seconds.

A safety switch is an essential feature to safeguard your family against mishaps caused by electricity. If you are building a new home or renovating your old one, give Hancock’s a call and get your safety switch installed.

Smoke Alarms

South Australian government has made it mandatory for all residential properties to have smoke alarms installed. Home owners can choose from battery-powered smoke alarms or the hard-wired ones.

Hancock’s Air Conditioning, Refrigeration & Electrical team of electricians is well-trained to install ionization as well as photoelectric smoke alarms. Our electricians have many years of experience installing smoke alarms and can suggest the right location in your home so as to avoid false alarms.

We also offer maintenance and repair of faulty smoke alarms. It is advisable to have your smoke alarm replaced every 10 years. The dirt and other contaminants that accumulate over the period diminish its efficiency.

Ceiling Fans

A ceiling fan is a God sent in this blazing summer heat. Not only does it reduce the temperature in the room, it also decreases the pressure on your air conditioning unit. The overall result – better cooling and lower electricity bill!

Thought ceiling fans work wonders only in summers? They are the year-round miracle workers as in winters they force the hot air from high ceilings towards the ground, thereby, saving you dollars on the heating bill.

At Hancock’s, we supply and install ceiling fans in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. You can choose from the advanced low voltage fans or the remote control ones. Don’t waste your hard-earned money on excessive power bills, get a ceiling fan today!
